Colaboração na nova revista do Museu Egípcio de Turim

The Museo Egizio in Turin is pleased to announce the launch of its new open access journal, Rivista del Museo Egizio. The first volume is now online at https://rivista.museoegizio.it/ .

The Rivista del Museo Egizio promotes, gathers and disseminates research on the collection of the Turin museum from the standpoint of a variety of disciplines, ranging from archaeology to philology, and from archive studies to restoration.

It also welcomes articles on archaeological sites investigated by the Museo Egizio in Turin today or in the past, as well as contributions on topics of indirect relevance to the museum’s collection (for example, because they also deal with artifacts in the Museo Egizio, or with a class of artifacts also represented in its collection, with history of Egyptology topics intersecting the history of the Turin collection, with the museology of Egyptian collections, etc.).

The journal takes full advantage of its online format, offering advanced article navigation functions, high-resolution color images, the possibility to add comments to published articles, and additional content such as RTI images, 3D models, and direct links to other online resources. The published images of objects in the Museo Egizio are made available to readers free of charge under a Creative Commons license. Traditionally formatted PDFs of the articles are also available for download and printing.

The Rivista del Museo Egizio is a peer-reviewed academic journal targeting a readership mainly composed of Egyptologists. It publishes articles in four languages: Italian, English, French, and German. Its large multinational advisory board is representative of the research community the journal aims to serve.

The Crossroads III – A Stranger in the House. Foreigners in Ancient Egyptian and Near Eastern Societies of the Bronze Age

We are happy to announce the third international Crossroads conference – “The Crossroads III – A Stranger in the House. Foreigners in Ancient Egyptian and Near Eastern Societies of the Bronze Age”, which will be held at the Faculty of Arts, Charles University (Prague) between September 10 and 13, 2018.

The main objective of the conference is to enhance our understanding of “foreignness” in ancient societies of the Near East and Egypt during the period defined by the end of the Chalcolithic period and the end of the Late Bronze Age. In order to obtain a well-balanced insight, we would like the topic to be treated from an archaeological, historical, iconographic and philological point of view. We believe that bringing together archaeologists, philologists, as well as historians and other experts, is not merely highly desirable, but also a necessity for gaining a deeper insight into the historical, social, cultural and economic aspects of “foreignness” of the respective regions (Mesopotamia, Anatolia, Levant, Egypt) at this particular moment in time.

We hope that the idea of working along the topic of “foreignness” will provide for some fascinating lectures and discussions. We are sure many of the papers will touch upon several aspects of “foreignness” but we would be very much interested in the following questions and/or topics:

Who is a foreigner in the respective society?

How do we recognise foreigners in ancient societies?

What is the role of foreigners in the society?

Interaction between the foreigners and indigenous population(s).

Foreigners as enemies of the state.

Foreigners as allies.

An experience of being a foreigner.

Foreign people and foreign gods.

Communication patterns between individuals and societies.

The Crossroads III Conference organising committee invites proposals for papers and posters relating to all above-mentioned aspects of “foreignness”. The official language of the conference will be English and each lecture should be 25 minutes long with an additional 5 minutes allowed for discussion. In order to assess your paper proposal, you are expected to submit an abstract of your presentation and a short CV (400–500 words in total) by February 1, 2018. All proposals will be reviewed by the scientific committee and the authors will be notified of the results by March 1, 2018. The deadline for submitting your paper to the proceedings is set for two months after the conference. All the papers will be peer-reviewed and the volume will be published in 2019. Conference fee: 90€ (standard) and 60€ (students).

The Center for Ancient Middle Eastern Landscapes (CAMEL Lab) at
the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago would like
to announce that a substantial subset of its digital holdings
of maps and geospatial data are now available for online public
search and download.

Thanks to the funding of a 2014-2016 IMLS grant, geo-referenced
versions of historical and modern maps and satellite imagery have
been included in the Oriental Institute’s ever-expanding
Integrated Database, available at

To access maps and geospatial data specifically, choose “CAMEL”
from the first drop-down list.

International Congress of Egyptologists XI: Florence, Italy, August 23–30, 201518.07.2014

The International Association of Egyptologists is pleased to announce that the host and organizing authority for ICE XI will be the Egyptian Museum of Florence, Italy. The venue was chosen by a majority of member votes cast from May 16 until July 15 of this year. The IAE received a total of five bids, the others being from Turin, Italy; Melbourne, Australia; Trieste, Italy; and Warsaw, Poland. We are grateful for the extraordinary effort required to put these bids together, and hope that the ICE will be in each of the venues in the future.

Please monitor this web page for further news, which will be posted when it is received from Florence.

The University of Vienna together with the Austrian Academy of Sciences host the 5th International Congress for Young Egyptologists (ICYE). ICYE will take place in Vienna from 16 – 20 September 2015 and is a conference for postgraduate students and early post-DOC researchers. Although ICYE is intended to be a postgraduate conference, anyone with an interest in Egyptology is welcome to attend.

It is time to plan for the upcoming First Encounter with the Mediterranean Soul.

As most of you are aware, the seminar will take place in La casa dei pesci at San Felice Circeo (Mount Circeo), the house built by my grandfather Arch. Michele Busiri Vici. It will start on July 10th at noon and end on Sunday July 13th after lunch.

« The Encounters of the Mediterranean Soul » are a seed, an idea to bring to life a new way of experiencing, understanding, nurturing and sharing the many sophisticated collective meanings that lie behind the Circe Mountain and the Mediterranean sea: History, Mythology, Architecture, and obviously Depth Psychology, without forgetting the exquisite food, the sea, the sun and the wild surrounding nature.

Is there a “Mediterranean Soul”?

Thinking and experiencing the Mediterranean, in search of its deep meaning for and within our life today, is the goal.

4 days of conversations on the Mediterranean, and of full immersion in the Mediterranean nature, in its perfumes, colors and tastes.

3 main themes: History, Mythology, Analytic Psychology

3 main “guides” for our joint conversations:

Maria Helena Trindade Lopes: Executive Coordinator of the Department of History in the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities of the U.N.L. Egyptologist and Full Professor of the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities of the Universidade Nova de Lisboa, MH Trindade Lopes is the author of 8 books and 100 articles.

Evans Lansing Smith: Ph.D., Chair and Core Faculty, Mythological Studies Program, Pacifica Graduate Institute (home of Joseph Campbell archives and the only advanced degree Mythology program in the world). He is the author of 9 books and numerous articles on comparative literature and mythology.

Luigi Zoja: Jungian analyst, former President of IAAP, teaching at the CG Jung Institute in Zurich and author of many books in English and Italian amongst which: The Father, Routledge, 2001; The Global Nightmare. Jungian Perspectives on September 11 (ed.), Daimon, 2002; Cultivating the Soul, Free Association, 2005.

Enclosed please find the leaflet with the overall information and the two options of accommodation.

At this point It is important that those of you who have said they wish to participate confirm.

The seminar is planned to be for 20 participants and for those who wish to extend the invitation to friends whom could be interested, this is the time to do it.

The deadline for registration is February 15th at the latest to make sure on my side I am able to confirm the rooms with the negotiated fares.

Please don't hesitate to be in touch by mail or phone (+33619694053) for any question or requests

Looking forward to sharing with you what I hope will be an enriching and inspiring experience.
